Written by Sukanto Bhattacharya, Brainmaker: Co-evolution of Human and Synthetic Intelligence (1st Edition) investigates the evolving relationship between biological thinkers and artificial cognitive systems. The work offers a structured socio-anthropological perspective on artificial intelligence, establishing a broad foundation for analyzing how human society and synthetic tools influence each other over time.

The author grounds this inquiry in the historical patterns of technological discovery and human adoption, using past technological transitions to demonstrate what makes synthetic intelligence unique. Through this historical lens, the text examines challenging indicators in contemporary development, demonstrating that current co-evolutionary pathways have entered a turbulent period marked by unpredictable and likely undesirable societal outcomes.

To navigate these complex dynamics, the volume highlights the necessity of constructing a new, holistic ontological framework. This theoretical framework redefines intelligence as more than a mere collation of cognitive capabilities, providing upper-level academic readers with a formal reference point for evaluating biological and synthetic interaction.
